Lamp Sessions (Monthly Challenge #013) – September 2019

Lamp Sessions #013 (September 2019) – The Kids Are Alright

I told Shrike I was putting together a pack of samples for the September challenge, and here it is:

I have a toddler, and September 5th we’ll have our second. My daughter likes listening to “kids music, REALLY LOUD!” in the car, and sometimes I hear something and think I should sample it. So the pack is bunch of samples from kids’ vinyl & CDs, plus some percussion (we have a big basket that she is allowed to play with, and often does, although 90% of the time it’s used to build forts), and some kid-related foley sounds, like white noise from a splash park, assorted kids toys, etc. If you need to add some one shots, FX, bass from synths, please do. The whole pack is kind of silly, but please try to use some elements from it, some of what I found was surprisingly good IMO.

Continuing with Shrike’s newly established guidelines: If you intend to participate, please give reply with some sort of positive affirmation. Even if you just *think* you might, a public promise might encourage more users to stay the course. (of course no harm if you can’t follow through… we all know life happens). AND, if you don’t happen to reply with a claim to start, but show up with a tune, no worries.

Secondly: There is now a mid-month check-in, if we so desire. That can be everyone’s chance to get feedback, get help with issues, etc.

Once submissions are in, please listen to the submissions & pick one demo as your favorite, other than your own submission; if you cannot participate but listen to the submissions, add your voice to the discussion. Feedback on final submissions is encouraged as well, but not required. Just remember “Want feedback? Give feedback.”

SUBMISSIONS DUE: Monday September 30, 2019

VOTES DUE: Before the October samples go live, usually the 2nd of the month.
Genies and Moderators are exempt from prizes, so be sure to vote for another member.

SUBMIT: Upload a private track on SoundCloud and share the link in this thread any time after September 21, 2019. Collaborations are okay, but if you post a collab, you cannot also post a solo piece or additional collaborations.

PRIZE(?!?): GENIE HQ has final say, and will announce a winner at the conclusion of each month. Typically the winner will get a free month of Sample Genie next month, and possibly some additional feedback from a Sample Genie artist.

Any questions, just ask. Also, if you have any recommendations or ideas for future challenges, send them our way please!
